Cosplay At KultCon

Here are some more photos from my weekend at KultCon. 
These were definitely some of my favourites and I thought I would have a go at editing some of them to make them stand out.

The first ones are some well known characters from the TV show Game Of Thrones;
Joffrey and Sansa!

Joffrey is the talented Eewpie Cosplay, I am sorry but I didn't get the name of Sansa here.



Here I met a girl who did an amazing Captian Jack Cosplay! Again, I didn't get her name :(





Here is a fantastic Commander Shepard Cosplay from Mass Effect, handmade by Kroforce Cosplay.



I am sorry but I don't know who this is, but it looks so damn good. 


And here is the stunning Chrix Design with her Death Elf outfit and everything is completely handmade! Check out that amazing make up effect. 






After doing this event by myself as a photographer it wasn't as scary as I had thought. Although I did miss cosplaying myself!

There are still some more photoshoots from this weekend I will post about, one of my favourites is coming next... I am a massive fangirl of this show.

As always, check my page for more frequent updates!

KultCon

A couple of weekends ago I had the pleasure of taking photos at KultCon, a local anime convention to me here in Sweden! I got talking with the admin, who is also an amazing cosplayer (Mitternacht Cosplay) and she was awesome enough to sort me out with a press pass! 

I met loads of really great and friendly people, everyone is always up for me taking their photos. I even managed to tear some people away outside in the cold for a better backdrop, so I had a few mini shoots whilst I was there.

Here are some general shots of cosplayers from the weekend! 





















Some of my mini photoshoots include Supernatural, Mass Effect and a Death Elf!

I will blog about them soon :)

Codex Cosplay

The making of my Codex from The Guild Cosplay!

I am so very pleased with myself that I have managed to make another great prop for a cosplay.

Using just mainly things around the house as well. It shows you don't have to spend a fortune on cosplay.

Codex is from the online tv show The Guild, where they play an massive online multiplayer game, like World Of Warcraft. She and her friends all have avatars they use in the game, and this is the outfit of Codex's avatar. They all wore the outfits from their games in a music video they made called "Do you wanna date my avatar?" You should really watch it on youtube for it, it's great.

Here is what she looks like, played by the lovely Felicia Day:



Here is what i started with for my staff, a paper stencil. 


Then i cut it out in cardboard, and layered the sides.


Then good old fashioned Papier-mâché


I made the rings out of some clay stuff i got from a cheap shop.




The sphere i got on eBay for a few pounds. And sprayed it green with some spray paint i found in the garage. 


The staff itself was an old broom handle.



There is a little bit at the bottom of the staff i cut out white plastic tubing for plumbing and glued it to the shape i needed, and glued a rubber bouncy ball into it.

The circle skirt cut out of the fabric.



I got a cheap corset on eBay and covered it with the right colour fabric.


Made a front panel out of craft foam that i used for the Thor armour, i had some left.
I also made the top with this foam, but i didn't take any progress pictures of it, as well as the gauntlets.


The necklace and headband were cheap off eBay with some other craft gems and bits i found to glue to them.


The shoes were again from eBay, with faux leather strips.

Here are the results!






The photos were taken by Jasmine Lilly Photography, she also did the Thor shoot with me previously.
This shoot was done on the windiest day i have ever experienced, so it was really hard to get some without my hair and skirt flying all over the place. And it was freezing! But Jasmine even brought a heat-pad with her for me! If you can excuse my face I think the results are pretty good.
